Fascinating thing at my cheap-o for this coming week...this doesn't usually happen, but my cheap-o is getting 2 new movies still very active in some of my local theaters...those movies are Daddy's Home 2 and Murder on the Orient Express, so I can say this coming week will probably be the last week for both of those movies at all the other local theaters (so they are definite Dec 22 drops, if not already dropped, no matter what)...

Makes sense that they would instantly move to the cheap theaters starting next week. Everything released before The Last Jedi/Ferdinand that isn't either Coco or an expanding Oscar player is gonna be completely decimated.

Pretty much. Over the weekend, The only movies not named Ferdinand or Jedi that have more than 3 showings is Coco, Wonder and Lady Bird. Luckily the three mentioned all have 5+ showings

That's awesome! Great deal for those who haven't seen either of those yet.

Basically the same tracking numbers as TFA in the final week.

 

For quite some time, industry estimates have pegged The Last Jedi at an opening around $200M at 4,175-plus theaters. Force Awakens opened at 4,134 two years ago and Rogue One debuted in 4,157 locations last year. Worst case scenario for Last Jedi opening wise is $185M, while the best case is any figure north of $210M.

Ep8 seems to be down 15% or so from Ep7 in France based on very early numbers. If that trend holds in US then $210-220 million seems to be where it will end up on the OW.

I think there is no way in hell this does under Civil War this weekend, it is way way wayyyy ahead in sales through the weekend.

 

 

Personally be a bit surprised if it does 200 million.
